There it is, its a GReddy valve on an s13 silvia pipe, looks like a perfect fit for my Saab setup. Can't wait to get it on there

Right on, cool. That does look like it would work good. Post pics when you get it in!

NICE! Where'd you pick it up? How much?

I take it you'll just plumb it back to the stock location? Sounds uber sweet man! Much better than my ghetto setup.

Cool.

Early 90s Mazda 626/MX6 Turbo blowoff valves are also mounted in a pipe with a flange a lot like that.

What's the extra nipple for though?

nice one! And those BOV make some sweet noise

I'll definitely get some pics up when I install it. I believe this valve is closed under vacuum, so I might not have to plumb it at all, if it's not, I'll figure something out... It's still in Japan right now, so it'll take a little bit to get it

I've got a Greddy too I'm hoping goes in without much trouble once I get my saab 900 IC:

The way it was in my turbo Saturn, the upper nipple is for the reference (went to the intake manifold, where I was measuring boost) and the other one is an atmospheric reference. They do make some sweet sounds... its too bad we'll have to plumb them in as recirculating instead of venting the pressure to the atmosphere.

(actually its been so long since this was in use that I really forget which nipple was which, but one is supposedly an atmospheric reference)

Chris - Where did you get the pipe/valve? That's IDEAL for our cars. How much? That looks great!

Got it used off a friend in Texas that upgraded his turbo Saturn and no longer needed it, a LONG time ago. It was on my car for almost a year... no idea where he got it. It cost me $90 shipped.

Damn, I really would love to have one of those, but I don't have the money to buy one, lol.

Yeah, to tell you the truth, I would like to know where he found that pipe with the fitting on it. For all I know he fabricated it, he did that kind of thing. The valve itself is a GReddy Type S.

I thought it said Type S somewhere on it.... perhaps I was wrong.
